As a side note, I haven’t found a good poker player that wouldn’t play a bot over a human any day.
I agree. to my knowledge bots are not good enough yet to be a real threat to an experienced poker player.
Bots are on all pokersites.
Most likly.
I downloaded ‘win holdem’ once(a poker bot program), to check it out. This was a year or 2 ago, I don’t know how the program has evolved. I used it at partypoker and paradise. I used it for a few hands on each site. It is a tweekable program, and I spent very little time adjusting it. I lost money using it, in the few hands I played. It worked, it read the screen and ‘pushed’ the buttons for actions.
Partypoker didnt do anything about it, I would assume they didn’t know or didn’t care.
Paradise locked up my account and I had to expain myself and remove the program from my computer before they would unlock it, they said I would be permanetly banned if I used it again. But the software providers at win-holdem say this is easy to work around using 2 computers, I never tried.
